    Q
    What is the difference between Permethrin SFR 36.8% and Onslaught FastCap Spider and Scorpion Insecticide?
    I have been using onslaught for interior and exterior of my house for black widows and scorpions for the past 2yrs and I was told that need to change insecticide every so often so the pest won't get immune to the insecticide.
    A

    Onslaught FastCap is a unique insecticide that has an encapsulated pyrethroid plus prallethrin for quick knockdown. Permethrin SFR contains permethrin - a different pyrethroid - and it is not encapsulated. The encapsulation really helps products to last longer in the heat and sunlight in desert environments better than the Permethrin SFR would. Our other most popular insecticides to rotate with Onslaught would be Cyzmic CS or CyKick CS. You could always add 0.25 - 0.5 oz of ExciteR insecticide to either Cyzmic or CyKick for that extra quick knockdown, if desired.

    Q
    What can I do to get rid of a massive spider population infesting my backyard? (about 2/3 acre on a hill)
    A
    For spiders and other pests in a large area in the backyard, Permethrin SFR would be a good choice.  It is a liquid concentrate that you mix with water and apply using a hand pump sprayer.  It is labeled for just about any insect you could have.

  • Asked by Gregg from Duluth, Mn.
    04/23/2012
    Q
    I want to treat cotton with permethrin placed in tubes to use rodents to kill ticks. What product/form?
    How much should i buy and in what form? Powder, premixed liquid or concentrate? sprayable or what? How long is shelf life and is it safe to store in the house? I have a cabin with aprox an acre to two acres i would treat. I understand that i should probably treat the area this way for aprox 3 years to get the entire life cycle of ticks and larvae Correct?
    A

    We do not have any experience using cotton soaked with permethrin in tubes on rodents so we can not offer advice on this type of application. Below is the advice we usually offer for tick control:

    Permethrin SFR would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. We also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR to Permethrin to stop the ticks from being able to develop while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. Do not make spot applications. Treat the entire area where exposure to ticks may occur. Use more water (not more product) when treating areas with dense ground cover or heavy leaf litter. Ticks may be reintroduced from surrounding areas on host animals. Retreatment may be necessary to achieve and/or maintain control during periods of high pest pressure. All of your dogs should be treated with a product that is specifically labeled for use on dogs for tick control.

    You can also help by creating a "tick safe zone" in your yard. You should have an area that is at least 9 ft wide between your yard and any wooded area. Trim back trees to allow as much sunlight as possible into your yard. Keep grass as short. Remove as much leaf litter as possible. A clearly defined, well manicured border between your yard and any wooded areas or weedy lots will reduce the chance of ticks infesting your yard.

  • Asked by Mark from Ft Worth, Tx

    Q
    I want to use Permethrin with an igr for a flea infestation in my yard using a dial n spray hose end sprayer.
    The yard is about 2000 sq feet. Should the setting on the sprayer be set set at 1.6 oz and about how much igr should I use?
    A
    How you set your hose end sprayer will depend completely on the brand of sprayer you have. We recommend you read the directions on the hose end sprayer as some require you to pre-dilute the product and other hose end sprayers do not. You should plan to use 1 2/3 oz of Permethrin SFR per gallon of water. You will need to use 1 oz of Martins IGR per gallon of water to cover a 1,500 sq ft area for flea control.

    Q
    Can permethrin SFR 36.8%,diluted to 0.5% be used to treat cloths for tick control?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% cannot be used on clothing of any type. We do carry Tick Block which was specifically manufactured for use on clothing for tick control. While Tick Block and Permethrin SFR 36.8% share the same active ingredient the base ingredients are very different and the products are not interchangeable.

    Q
    Can Permethrin SFR be used on beds and sofas where spiders hide?
    Is Permethrin SFR safe for human contact as noted above?
    A
    Permethrin SFR is not labeled for that use. To treat spider mites, we recommend using Onslaught as a residual to cracks and crevices, floors, window frames, door frames. You can also use sterifab as an on contact kill to be applied to mattress, and furniture.

    Q
    Can I mix Permethrin SFR with an insect growth regulator?
    A
    Yes, Permethrin SFR can be mixed with an IGR. Since Permethrin SFR is primarily used outside, we would recommend mixing Nyguard IGR . Nyguard IGR will last the longest outdoors.

  • Asked by Gina
    09/26/2014
    Q
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% kill Chiggers?
    A
    Permethrin SFR 36.8% is not labeled for chiggers and may not provide adequate results for you. Onslaught insecticide is labeled for chiggers and can be used both indoors and outdoors as a broadcast spray. Chiggers are not known to infest structures. Chiggers are most likely outdoors in your yard. Many people are lead to believe that the infestation is indoors because they do not feel the effects of the chigger bites right away and then are lead to believe they are being bitten at a later time. Treatments for chiggers should begin in May and could need to continue through the summer as new chiggers move into the area. Treating the entire lawn is of little benefit because chiggers avoid direct sunlight and normally will not infest areas that are mowed or otherwise well maintained. Focus treatment on the unkempt areas of the lawn and lawn edge. You can also use Onslaught to do a barrier treatment around the outside of your home and in your crawl space to stop pests from moving indoors. If you feel strongly that you are being bitten inside by something we would urge you to get a sample of the pest and have it professionally identified by an entomologist. You can find an entomologist in your area by contacting your local cooperative extension office.

    Q
    what is the importance of the .5% and 1% rate ratio?
    please explain ,I don't understand. thank you
    A
    The rate you use will depend on where you are spraying, and what level of infestation you have. The lower rate is normally used for preventative/light infestations. The higher rate is normally used when you have a decently heavy problem and you want to eliminate it from inside and outside the home.

  • Asked by Felix from Macon, Ga
    02/22/2015
    Q
    Can you spray Permethrin SFR directly on you and how to mix to treat your yard and dogs?
    A
    Permethrin SFR cannot be used on humans in any way but the product label does give instructions for using on dogs as a flea and tick dip.  Please refer to the product label for complete instructions.
    For Lawns: Mix 0.4 - 0.8 fl oz of Permethrin in 4 to 25 gallons of water per 1000 sqft, use the higher rate for faster knockdown and increased residual control. Dense or excessive (greater than 3 inches) lawn height and arid conditions may require higher volume application rates. Repeat application if necessary.

    According to the Permethrin SFR product label you will mix ¼ fl. oz. of concentrate to 1 pt. water and use 1-2 fl. oz. of dilution to spray on each animal. Spot treat back, face, legs tail and ears. If you would like to "dip" the dogs you will use ¼ fl. oz. to 1¼ gallons water and thoroughly wet the dog to the skin with sponge or rag. Let drip dry.

    Q
    Can you apply Permethrin SFR directly to a dog i.e. on shoulder blades, back & tail area like the spot on flea?
    A

    Yes, Permethrin SFR is labeled to be used directly on animals. Please check the label for specific instructions on how to apply to your dog. This product is not labeled for cats.

     

    We do have ZoGuard Plus for Dogs that is labeled for fleas. Invert one tube over dog and use open end to part dog's hair. Squeeze tube firmly to apply all of the solution to the dog's skin as a spot on the dog's back between the shoulder blades. Use entire contents of tube vial on each dog. Do not use multiple tubes on one dog. Weigh your dog to be sure you are applying the right dose formulated for the weight of your dog. Separate the treated dog from all other dogs and cats for 24 hours after treatment has been applied.

  • Asked by Mike from Willards, Maryland
    04/28/2015
    Q
    Why is this product unsafe to spray on clothes, yet you can spray it directly on dogs & horses?
    Several of the answers imply this product is not safe for human skin (even after drying on clothing), but you can DIP dogs in it, and spray it directly on horses??? What exactly makes this so dangerous to humans, yet so benign to all other mammals?
    A
    The formulation of Permethrin SFR is different from the products that can be used on clothing. The manufacturer did extensive testing on all of the ways this product can be used. If it is not on the label, we would not recommend using it that way. The active ingredient in the amount of solution being used on dogs and/or horses is safe per the regulations given so that is why it is labeled to be used on them.

  • Asked by Jacki from Park Hill, Ok
    08/24/2015
    Q
    Does the diluted Permethrin SFR kill headlice, and if so, is it safe for my children to be around?
    A

    Permethrin SFR is only labeled for use on livestock such as horses and cattle as well as other animals for lice and would not be used for headlice. It is safe when used as directed on the product label.  

    You could use Bedlam which is labeled for adult lice and nymphs. You would be apply to cracks and crevices around the room.

    In areas you cannot apply Bedlam you can use Sterifab. It will only kill those insects that you make direct contact with.  Sterifab is the product we would recommend for use on upholstered furniture and mattresses and other places around your home. Anything that can be washed in the washer and dryer should be treated in that way.

    For treatment on humans, you would need to contact your doctor or pharmacist for the best recommendation.

  • Asked by Carlos from Brownsville, Texas
    11/15/2015
    Q
    Should I use Permethrin SFR to treat ticks inside and out of the house?
    I am currently using Permethrin SFR but I am still seeing ticks. Is there anything else that you would recommend that I can use for indoor and outdoor tick control?
    A

    Permethrin SFR would be a great choice for indoor and outdoor tick control. We would also recommend adding an insect growth regulator such as Archer IGR in addition to the Permethrin to stop the ticks from being able to reproduce while you are trying to eliminate the infestation. Please see our Tick Treatment Guide for more information about this pest.
